There will be no more updates and support for the partner system. Partners will not be integrated in new templates. The partner system will continue to function until January 2018. You can still manage partners via partner management, but we recommend using the CMS.

Your shop is optimized to perform well in search engines like Google and Bing. However, without links from other websites to your shop, your shop will not be indexed in the search indexes.

The more inbound links to your shop, the higher a search engine will rank your shop and the higher your position on the search pages will be. With the partner program you can exchange links with other related websites.

Set "Show partners"

Navigate to Marketing > Partners. At the bottom of this page you can set how many partners are displayed. Set this number to 0 if you don't want partners to be displayed.

You can also set whether your visitors can apply for a partnership, a link will be displayed: Become a partner.

Where do I find link partners?

The best links are links from pages with a high page rank and with few other links on it. For starting, ask friends or colleagues to place a link to your website.

Our merchants regularly receive email from companies that promise thousands of "backlinks" for a certain price. Usually the backlinks do not have pagerank value. Backlinks in "link farms" can yield penalty in Google, and your website can be removed from the search index. Be aware!

Adding a new partner
